Diet does not ensure normal development in galactosemia
1997
This review deals with the treatment of inherited classical galactosemia by a lactose-free diet. Although, with dietary treatment, there is a remarkable improvement in the acute phase of the disease, the long-term outcome has been disappointing for most patients, especially regarding the central nervous system and ovarian dysfunction in females. There is a need for new approaches to treatment, in combination with diet therapy, that could improve the outcome of patients with galactosemia.
